Get the Logan mug.An attempt by an individual to defend overt jumps in logic made by film-makers and authors in science fiction and fantasy movies or books. To go beyond what is obvious (or semi-obvious) to the average move-goer or book-reader to defend what was poor planning on the part of the creator. Be it anachronisms, poor research or cheap shortcuts to move a plot along. Geeks are FAMOUS for coming up with excuses as to why something in a favored movie was not self-evident to one of its critics. Some twisty "clever" explanation outside of what is available in the actual film is the geeks explanation. Usually some thought that a character was having about the situation, or some magical math that's only available in the sci-fi world in which the genre occurs.
Astrophysicist: A parsec is a measure of space and not time, so how could Han Solo have "made the Kessel Run in under 12 Parsecs"? It makes no sense!
Geek Logician: You see Kessel runners had to deposit smuggled spice shipments in between freighters traveling at a fixed speed, so that the shorter distance covered by said freighters during a Run was regarded as bragging rights.

Get the Legina mug.The name X-Men's Wolverine's birth name. Although he appears to be in his mid to late 30s, he was actually born in the 1800s due to his mutant healing ability as well as having bone claws. In his youth, He befriended a child with the same mutant powers by the name of Victor Creed, who later became known as Sabretooth. when he found out that Victor's father was also his, both Victor and James ran away from home and joined special forces that were in every war from that point, until James left the squad
six years later, Victor went on a mutant under his old commander Colonel Stryker, for a weapon 11 project.
he looked for James and supposedly killed James' girlfriend and snapped his bone claws. James woke up and Colonel Stryker was in front of him saying that Victor is hunting him too. so he made a proposition and promised two things.
1. he will go through more pain than he has ever been through
2. he will get the tools kill creed
after that, James had a rare metal called adamantium infused with his bones. in the lab, he was known as Weapon X . After he left the Weapon X facility, he became known as either Logan or Wolverine.
Longer story short, he lost all his memory from an adamantium bullet to the skull.

Get the potato logic mug.Something really stupid and anoying they make you learn in Communication Studies graduate programs even though you're a rhetorician and couldn't really give a rat's ass.
Logical positivism asserts that only statements about empirical observations are meaningful, effectively asserting that all metaphysical statements are meaningless. Unfortunately, this fundamental tenet of logical positivism belongs to the family of statements that it asserts to be meaningless. As a result, the entire edifice of logical positivism vanishes in a puff of logic. This insight appears not to have occurred to the logical positivist school of philosophers.
